Just bottled first batch. Used to original recipe with kroger brand juice, with the addition of some DAP at the start, some S-meta and isinglass or chitosan after the first racking. Tastes more like a chardonnay than a cider, think when I make another one I'll have to oak it.

Thanks for the replies I went and picked up a winexpert italian montepulciano for my first run, I was between that and the amarone, local brew store doesn't have a huge selection in the wine kits. Never had either style but the monte was listed as being a bolder/heavier bodied wine in the...

Sounds good, thanks! Just been hesitant from my experience with beer concentrates, think I'm gonna dig the carboys and buckets out and try and get something in em over the next few days.

Got a question looking to get back into home brewing but with wine this time as it agrees better with my diabetes. I looked at the kits and what I'm wondering is if there's a noticeable off flavor from using concentrates that come in a lot of kits. I went all grain with beer really quickly as...

I use ammonia and water mix for cleaning glass and windshield washer fluid. 50/50 Everclear and distilled water for LCD screens and TVs. I've heard that isopropyl alcohol can have negative effects on LCDs but have used it in a pinch with no adverse effects.

Since me first and the gimme gimmes has been covered I like this one by goldfinger YouTube - goldfinger - 99 red balloons and the original YouTube - 99 red ballons - Nena For Me First and the Gimme Gimmes I always liked

I have a couple of straights, I tend to use a Gillette slim adjustable for daily shaves since it's a lot faster and seems to do just as well for me. You should really look into getting a DE as well. I think last time I ordered blades I paid about $30 for 100 pack and those were Feathers and...

I got the same response one time for saying damn. I got rear ended on my way home one day totaling my truck. I went to the Dr. and got x-rays and such and they went ahead and filed my personal insurance on the spot and I payed the bill, since I figured the guy who hit me insurance would...

I'm sure you'll get it I do that with almost every order (always remember something small after I place the big order) and it's always gotten added to the original order. I order from them exclusively since they are so close and have always gotten great service. The once or twice they've...

Since ya'll on on the security topic be sure and password or deactivate all user accounts. Main one that comes to mind is Administrator on XP Home. It's active with no password by default, I've run across this several times when "borrowing" some bandwith. Usually leave a note on the desktop for...

If I had to guess I'd say they add sulfites as a preservative. This is also common in red wine, and gives a nasty headache to those sensitive to it.

You can always make the crappy stuff better. I like using the cheap gold sparklers on the wire stick. About 4 boxes and half a roll of cheap electrical tape. Takes a few tries to figure out how much take to put over the top since too much and it'll be a dud too little and it makes a shower of...

We have one and for the concrete runners we nailed 2x4s to the bottom of the posts and just filled with concrete, smoothed, and then removed the boards once the concrete hardened. I haven't priced preformed runners but I'd think this would be a cheaper route.

If it'll boot from the cd it'll run a live distro regardless of if theres a hard drive in there or not. I made SWMBO use one for a couple months once since she wouldn't fess up to dropping her laptop and frying the drive (third time). (she later admitted to it falling off the bed)

+1 the few times I've had it I really enjoyed it, but then I was forewarned that it was apricot.

If you think that kid needed it watch this.

We used to drink something similar in college. called it "cowboy lemonade" or some such nonsense. 1 can of lemonade concentrate 1 can BMC 1 lemonade concentrate can of vodka

This thread reminded me of something my borther said once, after coming back from college to visit. Him: Have you tried that new cheap beer? It's not too bad. Me: I dunno what's it called? Him: I can't remember they just started selling it, I just found it a couple of weeks ago, its blue...

I had a hookah, left it at college with a dorm mate when I graduated. It was a nice 1 hose acrylic MYA. was about 18" tall and had its own little case, think I payed about $30 for it on ebay.
